I have a 20 year old Weedeater brand riding mower with a Tecumseh OHV165 engine. It has the Series 7 carburetor I believe. It surges, misses and backfires. And, I notice what I think is the governor arm moving back and forth. The carburetor is clean, good fuel filter, etc. I think there may a problem with the governor. Any advice? Thanks.
 
Sounds like it's not getting enough fuel. The governor is hunting trying to maintain constant speed.

Now that is a bit rude.
It is good information.
basically the same as in the troubleshooting guides in the back of every opertors manual, on every parts suppliers web sites and a lot of forums.
Which most have trouble following which is why this site exists.

I kind of lost my patients with him after reading a post he posted to. I am over it now but still want him to stop.
